Windows Cont'd

The windows dry fit great and I have scribed and prepared the Acrylic and I will be using the Sikaflex 295i sealant for bonding and mechanically fastening the windows.  They look great and I will get these in as soon as possible.  After this I am planning on bonding in the forward Lewmar deck hatch.  All of the hard points are in the deck.  The next step will be re-building and detailing the main hatch.  It's funny one task leads into the next and she is starting to look ship shape.

Jilann is working on re-finishing the teak and I'm excited to see how this turns out.  I'm sure it will turn out beautiful because she is so attentive to detail.

I need to buy a new band saw blade and get ready for the creation of some new interior components.  The forward deck part I built this summer took the teeth right off the blade in the form of sparks.  I didn't think cured fiberglass was all that strong.  The forward patch was pretty substantial but I do not want to have any issues when I bend the mast back in breeze.  It is exciting to read other Ross 780 blogs and I appreciate the connections I have made down south in New Zealand.
